Why would it be a reverse takeover? Both companies are quoted.

@kdonkey100
Same thing struck me when I read it. FUM should be asked for a clarification.

Mary Hood hasn't ended up too badly. Went of on a sabbatical and is now with Biffa. Was never sure whether she was pushed or whether she walked. The disaster at Sound hasn't done her any harm. Beware of people wearing flashy cufflinks was the lesson I took away from Sound many months ago.

What is so good about BPC?

Price target increased by a well known tip sheet. A number of recent recommendations from this source have resulted in an increase in sp followed by a placing. Do not think that this will be the case here.

This is due to Liberum recommencing coverage and changing their stance to a buy, but remember that LO lurking in the background is always ready to provide supply and reduce their stake. GLA.

If this is one from Colin Bird's stable, Colin will no doubt be talking about it on Tom Winnifrith's show on Saturday. Be very careful.

Anyone who wanted to unload before close of play yesterday should consider reporting the matter to the authorities. Most of the final twenty minutes one couldn't deal because the market was in auction. Clearly someone knew what was going on and didn't fancy being left with a whole of stock going into the close.

Disappointing. A little more light on why Carl had to move aside.

Well received. They raised more than expected.

Two companies which have recently raised but not gone down the done and dusted overnight route were Informa and Foxtons. The Informa raise was £1 billion.

Clearly attention is elsewhere but this is good news.

@sirrufus. Totally agree. I manage monies for an elderly relation. 80% 0f her income is in dividends (a mixture of prefs and blue chips like L&G). Interesting to see how the others (RSA, AV. PHNX react) react.

As I wrote yesterday, the cancellation of the dividend due on April 14th should not have happened. They should have honoured their undertaking to holders at the record date. HSBC like US banks, who I note, are not cancelling their dividends, pay the dividend quarterly. HSBC could entertain cancelling dividends for future quarters but at the same time dust down their plans for domiciling away from the UK. I did write to HSBC, got a response, but it was a clearly a PR exercise.

I believe they should have agreed to folow suit but not for the dividend to be paid on April 14th. Anyone who has sold post the ex-div date has been cheated.

These have gone below par. Any comments anyone?

Hopefully not a repeat of Eco/Tullow in Guyana.

A little top up. Institution or discretionary clients?

Am wondering if this not have something to with fear of Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren becoming president. I consider it unlikely that a democrat will be elected and that the party will have a working majority in both houses.

Due March 31st.
